"Sleep, Your Body Clock, and Metabolism: Why Rest Matters More Than You Think"

Sleep is a key regulator of metabolism and whole-body health. Poor sleep and disrupted circadian rhythm (your body’s internal clock) can affect metabolic balance, contributing to diabetes, weight gain, cognitive decline, arthritis, and chronic inflammation.

In this 30-minute presentation, Dr. Jengyu Lai from Rochester Clinic will explain how sleep influences hormones, metabolism, and energy. Participants will learn how irregular sleep schedules, late-night eating, screen exposure, and stress disrupt the body’s natural rhythm.

This session will share simple strategies to improve sleep, restore circadian rhythm, and support metabolic health—helping seniors improve energy, memory, and overall well-being.

Mei Liu will also showcase delicious plant-power foods packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, along with easy-to-follow recipes.

6/8/26: "Strong Legs, Sharp Mind: How Muscle Health Protects Your Brain"

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. While many think brain health starts in the head, research shows it also begins in the muscles—especially the large muscles of the legs.

In this 30-minute presentation, Dr. Jengyu Lai from Rochester Clinic will explain how leg strength improves circulation to the brain, supports blood sugar balance, and helps reduce insulin resistance—an important factor linked to cognitive decline.

Participants will learn how walking, strength training, and balance exercises can support both mobility and brain health. This session will share simple ways for seniors to build muscle, improve circulation, and protect long-term cognitive vitality.
